Any UK members had their F15 treated with Opti Coat Pro, good bad worth it etc?. Have read what our friends across the pond think just cant find a UK experience, although presumably the same product. Thanks

Hi. I had my Detailer use a nano-ceramic coating on the body and alloys and a hydrophobic crystal sealant on the glass.

It's supposed to last for up to 2 years and protect the vehicle’s paintwork from dust scratches and abrasion, UV damage and contamination, leaving a high gloss, low maintenance finish which stays cleaner for longer and requires less upkeep - time will tell.

I also had the leather treated as well.

Hi, sorry but is that an alternative, equivalent or same thing different name, the more I read the more I'm not sure what to go for

If I were you, I'd go for C-Quartz Finest - it's on the same level as OptiCoat Pro if not better and has a glossier finish. It also lasts 2 years (with warranty). This was recommended to me a while back by the best detailer in my city when I asked him between the two since he is licensed for both.

Or Zurich Shield, whose warranty is from one of the largest insurers/re-insurers in the world.

I think there are basically, one or two basic formulas, several brands, and dozens of warranties. Zurich's, I believe, is a 7 year warranty. It cost me $800. I expect it to last 2 years and the warranty to be full of disclaimers, making a claim virtually impossible.

If it helps, I asked an awful lot of questions from the people I went to; http://www.demonfinishers.co.uk give Ian a call or email.
As I say, he did an excellent job of my car and my wife's Evoque.

Sorry to hear delivery delayed, what's up?

PS On the web site its my car in the BMW section

Thanks will take a look, going to do something especially with the bad weather on the horizon. As for the 2 week delay who knows, was due w/c 20 Oct then got random email saying now w/c 3 November, no explanation . You would think they could track a £60k+ car! - I have waited ages so I guess at least its on route

@6605paull Mine was delayed by 3 weeks.....no reason. At least I had the improved specification and dealer lent me a nice little 4 series with the 'soft/hard' top which I made the most of back in May.

You will enjoy the F15 when you get it...well worth the wait!

Sorry meant to ask did your detailer keep the car overnight?

No problem...its not a 5 minute job unlike Autoglym etc. It took 2-3 days.
But this was because I had it done a week after delivery and had the body, glass, alloys AND leather sealed....Full Monty!

My wife's Evoque was in for 2 full days and that was just body and glass.

Thanks again, will have to find someone local ish (Beds/Bucks) as thats a logistical problem, after waiting approx. 5 months have it a week and give it to someone for 2-3 days is something I may struggle with. Will post pictures at some point!
